TIE ooMPrkxIE oP THE SENATE.
There is no longer any doubt that
the complexion, politically, OF the
Senate will be the slEce in the next as
in the present Congress The result
in two or three Safes was 80 close
aud the outcome was for awhile in 90
much do1bt that II was thought prob
able for awhile that the Senate might
become Democratic. 1t would make
very little difference, however, go far
as general legislation Is concerned, il
the Senate was Democratic during the
mex Congress. Tariff is the only real
political legislation being agitatsd, and
the house is 30 divided that the con-
test will really be in that body. Mr.
Rlndall's followers have been cunt
ing noses on the subject Of tariff
revision in the next Congress, and
one OF them said OF the con-
illusions today: "If there is any change
from this in the next House II will
be in our favor. think we will be at
least two or three members stronger
than We are now. Then you must re-
member that the Republicans reduced
our majority about half at the recent
elections, and that the suti.tarif re-
formers have great deal stronger
standing in the Flftieth than the
Forty-ninth Congress that is IL we
are to stand together then as we do
now, and do not think there in the
least inclination to break away. We
are frank to say that our political sal
walton lies In defeating tariff reform,
and tao Republicans make il an issue;
80 We ttand together. TIE / Xix about
our having 10 execute our pledge at
Chicago ~ reform the tariff amounts
to nothing, when it ia considered that
it Is q local aud personal matter 10 see
that it Ia not done. That Is local
matter TO my class Of Democrats, and
We c,nnot be bound by a general
pledge like that. Local, or self inter
est first"
THE sRNATEs JEALOUSY OF THE HOUSE.
"It's ~ absurdity," said a Senator
today, "for the House to question the
right Of the upper branch OF Congress
to OK END the life OF the Hawaiian or
any other treaty. 1t can, under the
constitution, clearly do 30. The SEN
ate can extend, but IL CAM OF create, a
commercial treaty, for the H1use
alone has control OF revenue matters;
but this treaty Is already in existence,
and 1t only seeks to continue It's life.
No one has ever questioned tho right
oil the House 10 assist in the ratifica-
ton OF an original commercial treaty,
because that affects the revenues; but
IL makes the Senate smile to see the
House inquiring about the right OF
the Senate to extend treaty already
In existence. L expect to hear the
House upending itself and asking
what right the Senate has to
deal with the British extradition
treaty. The House is getting very
salous of it's prerogatlves." II was
suggeeted that the House thought 1t
was the Senate that was jealous Of pre-
negatives, and the Senator said: "No.
Not a bit Of IL. We don't care q fig
for prervgatives. We only want 10 do
usiness, while the House seems bent
on talking aud quarreling. Do you
know that il the House had charge OF
a thing like the British extradition
treaty, a matter we ra,ify or reject at
one or two sessions, il would occupy
MOI tn OF continuous session. True;
and more, II would insist upon ths
last word, and would amend Il go as to
get conferences and run it over a
whole years time. The House is
something on diplomatic matters, and
10 getting more and more finicky
about them, ever questioning the
Senate's rights with them. 1t would
never do TO give the House any more
leeway than 1t has"
UNLIMITED GUESTS.
The intrusion OF unlimited guests at
the parties given by day and night in
Washington, to which attention has
already bsen' called by the press, has
grown TO be 30 much OF nuisance
that many have rel Iced at the very
proper rebuke given to some such at
the concert OF the English Legation
last Saturday. Quite party of intrud.

HOLLOW SOCIETY.
The Post comments editorially on the
hollownees OF Washington society and
refers TO the statement recently
p inted In the New York Herald about
the frivolous and mercenary character
Of many OF the so called public enter
tainments. The Pot, however, ex-
cu,es the small attendance at the fu-

recently died because at the reception

death only tea and waters vera served
